these reptiles are venomous carnivorous
and while welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 most dangerous snakes around
the world for this list we’re looking at
the most lethal of slimy serpents around
the world and basing our choices on a
mix of how venomous and dangerous they
are as well as their relative proximity
to human beings
number 10 Death Adder native to
Australia and New Guinea the acanthus
latest doesn’t actively scour around for
lunch instead it kicked back beneath the
soil waiting for the perfect opportunity
to chomp into its unassuming prey in
fact when hidden the Death Adder appears
to be a worm just waiting to be snatched
up yet there’s no snake more proficient
in seizing a snack and subsequently
returning to its position while the
snake can be fatal to humans with its
bite first causing paralysis a large
dose of anti-venom will solve the
problem should the Death Adder launch a
surprise attack number nine Philippine
Cobra as part of the Naja genus of
snakes this fearsome serpent is capable
of launching venom from almost ten feet
away and has a fondness for swallowing
up mice and grass as you might have
guessed the Philippine Cobra lives in
the Philippines and its surrounding
islands despite years of documented
cases where humans respiratory systems
shut down after a bite locals still like
to play around with the Philippine Cobra
since it has one of the most potent
Venom’s of its kind that’s not really a
good idea
number eight tiger snake one minute
you’re walking among the wetlands of
Australia the next a colorful tiger
snake appears with a Ted perched high
and ready to rip into you
okay maybe such a narrative sounds
extreme but just tell that to Southern
Australians who find themselves bitten
by the slimy species known as no Texas
status given the popularity of
Australia’s beautiful coast
this snake remains a legit concern down
under yet tiger snakes are legally
protected from any violence against them
if you do get bitten there’s a 50-50
chance that you will die without
immediate treatment number seven
rattlesnake rather loud and undeniably
dumb
the rattlesnake earned a reputation for
chomping into North Americans especially
the Diamondback rattler of the
southeastern United States but here’s
the thing
the rattlesnake does not want to eat us
in fact it would probably just like to
be left alone yet we continue to harass
these snakes and ultimately pay the
price why well because their rattle
makes us giggle that’s why rattlesnakes
are all over the Americas but their
favourite locale is the American
Southwest far away from annoying city
dwellers still there’s always someone
hoping to ruin its day as evidenced by
the fact that they are the chief source
of snake bites on the continent number 6
brown snake okay maybe the Australian
brown snake also known under the genus
name of pseudo Naja
doesn’t exactly have the sexiest of
names but that doesn’t mean it won’t
destroy your kidneys if provoked these
reptiles are more sensitive than most
and less apt to endure your constant
stick poking in other words find some
other preferably harmless snake to annoy
the range Brown snake doesn’t have the
longest of fangs and therefore probably
won’t kill you but watch out for the
Western brown snake he will f you up
with its venom given the opportunity
number five sea snake arguably the most
toxic of all snakes this aquatic
creature spends its life in the water
well at least most of the time without
gills the sea snake also called the
Hydra finai and coral reef Nick must
occasionally come up for air however it
won’t bite unless thoroughly provoked
even if the sea snake does launch an
attack on surprised fishermen they are
very sparing in their use of venom these
guys don’t inject victims just for the
hell of it they are much more likely to
use their venom on unassuming fish they
also like to party seeing dozens of them
altogether is not uncommon number four
anaconda if you’ve ever seen a movie in
which ignorant tourists roam the Amazon
then you
probably recognize this snake you know
the one that constricts and eats people
whole not just people either crocodiles
deer or anything unlucky enough to be
engulfed in its wrath the green anaconda
is the largest snake in the world
they’ve been known to cannibalize each
other taking them the most psychotic
snakes as well even though an anaconda
won’t kill you with venom it will
squeeze the crap out of you and just
like that you’ll be gone
number three king cobra when a snake has
a royal nickname ya better respect its
throne
oddly enough the king cobra isn’t
actually a cobra or Onaga instead it’s
in a class of its own called Alfie Argus
which actually means snake eater
seriously blessed with a forked tongue
that transmits signals to something
called a Jacobson’s organ is highly
intelligent serpent hunts down its
victims with absolute stealth and
swallows them before they even know what
happened in other words stay away from
the king cobra because they don’t give a
damn about selfie etiquette number two
inland Taipan yet another venomous snake
native to Australia the inland Taipan is
the most toxic snake in existence if you
ever come across this lethal creature
just run as fast as you can in the
opposite direction listen the inland
Taipan doesn’t want trouble and neither
does the coastal Taipan another
dangerous snake but if you anger it the
snake will make you pay some bites can
be handled with time and the appropriate
anti-venom but if this fierce small
scaled serpent strikes the clock will
lead ticking theoretically a human would
last less than three full length
WatchMojo videos or 45 minutes before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions

number one the Black Mamba speeds
agility sighs here’s an African snake
that gives everybody the heebie-jeebies
the fastest snake on earth the Black
Mamba tends to be aggressive and
protective of its domain this nasty
creature inspired a code name in Quentin
Tarantino’s film Kill Bill our code name
was Copperhead mine black mamba NBA
legend Kobe Bryant in turn adopted the
same moniker to represent his skill set
like most snakes the Black Mamba doesn’t
actively seek out human flesh but mess
around and you will get schooled in the
science of deadly venom before
anti-venom your chances of survival were
basically zero and even then you’ve got
under three-quarters of an hour to live
if you’re not treated so it’s no wonder
its bite is known as the kiss of death
